Generations to hold auditions for new cast

After firing the bulk of the cast, MMSV Productions will hold auditions to find a new cast of actors, they announced at a joint press conference with the SABC on Friday.

This comes after 16 of the cast members, including stars like Sophie Ndaba and Menzi Ngubane, were sacked after refusing to return to set amid wage and contract disputes.

'Other great actors have approached me saying they want to come to Generations'

"Other great actors have approached me saying they want to come to Generations," said SABC CEO Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who admitted to being a Generations fan himself. "People are waiting." Deciding to fire the actors was a risk, executive producer Mfundi Vundla said. "We are excited about the risk. When we come back, man! It's gonna be great."

Producers did not say whether they would hold open audtions, nor whether or not a new storyline and characters will be introduced.
